NEWS: New Bus Routes for Walt Disney World Water Parks

Beginning on March 17, when traveling by bus to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach water parks guests will no longer have to take multiple buses in order to get there. Previously guests had to take a bus to Disney Springs and then transfer to another bus in order to reach Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, and similarly to reach Disney’s Blizzard Beach guests first had to take a bus to Disney’s Animal Kingdom before transferring over to the water park.

Some resort’s buses will stop at multiple locations picking up guests along the way. Below are the resorts that are bundled together in their transit to the water parks:

Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resorts, Disney’s Yacht Club, Disney’s Beach Club, and Disney’s BoardWalk Resort
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Resort – Jambo House and Kidani Village
Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort, Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, and Disney’s All-Star Movies
Disney’s Pop Century Resort and Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort

Select resorts will have specific bus stops that service the waterparks:

Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort – Old Port Royale Stop
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort – El Centro/Stop #1
Disney’s Old Key West Resort – Hospitality House Stop
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – South Bus Depot
Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort (including Treehouse Villas) – The Springs Bus Stop

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way.
